I'm a putter - I can't stand things left around....cupboards and drawers were invented for a reason.

It does drive my husband mad and yes I do have a touch of the OCD. I have to tidy the house everyday, and when I wasn't working (when the children were babies) I would hoover/polish/clean the house from top to bottom every day. I have learnt to calm down a bit but still everything has a place...Put it in it!!

I've just told Mr CS what this thread is about and his response.... "you just f*cking leave everything" so I guess that means I'm a leaver LOL.

Have to agree that I'm a leaver but I do have a weekend every now and again where I blitz the house and put everything away...normally when my underwear drawer is empty cos the clean washing is all piled up in the spare room (done by Mr CS).

I'm a putter and mr B is definitely a leaver - sometimes his clothes are returned washed even when they didn't make it to the "magic basket" in the bedroom, I think he thinks the fairies do it

My first husband learned the hard way that things not in the washing basket don't get washed, the day he had no clean shirt to wear to work. Given that he had about 15 shirts, all of which were piled on a chair in the bedroom.......................

Well it really does depend on the day for me, some days I will leave thngs just lying about and others i will put everything away as soon as i'm done with it, perhaps more a leaver than a putter but some days everything does have it's place!
